Do a search on the video sites.

I have it, but it's too large to host on the forum.

Yeah the one he's looking for starts off with a Cadillac and then the C4 is remote control driven while Jeremy rides in a helicopter and teh Vette gets the crap blown out of it.

He happens to be correct in many instances.

I think you're talking about a Mr. Jeremy Clarkson - famous for his time on the UK's best car show Top Gear. He's always been a controversial and very opinionated character - somewhat of an aquired taste. He's also a big snob, particularly against Japanese cars, but generally always entertaining to watch/ read...

Google 'Jeremy Clarkson Quotes' or similar

Check the BBC website's section for Top Gear. I'd caution you against trying to enter a battle of wits with Mr. Clarkson, however.

So we have no souls because we love corvettes eh? As for the ride, I find it quite comfortable. He just made an azz of himself, so I dont care what he thinks.

I love Top Gear.

That video is right, too. The early C4 was a stiff riding, unpredictable pig. GMs desire to stick with the transverse leaf spring is going to be the undoing of the Vette. I hope when the new SS/Stingray or whatever they are going to call it comes out, has coil overs.

He did compare the new Z06 favorably to the Ferrari 575.
